For audiences who adored "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," Nia Vardalos' follow up movie (she wrote both scripts) will come as a big fat letdown.

The movie does offer some genuine guffaws as it trips over itself to be all things to all people.

Vardalos is a much better actress than she is a writer, and the patchy script has a desperate, thrown-together feeling to it, as if she had to scramble to come up with something after Wedding's gargantuan success.

Some like it lukewarm? Well, they're welcome to it.

A good-natured but self-indulgent camp comedy lacking in originality, character and comic timing.

There's some fun to be had here, but not quite enough, and the film is burdened by its tired message that drag queens are human beings too.

If you find meticulously staged, passionately sung anthems about love, beauty, truth, and joy to be tiresome, then don't drop a dime on this film. Otherwise GO!

The film's real joy comes in its camp performance pieces, which outrageously poke fun at the guilty pleasures of musical theatre.

“Big Fat Greek Wedding’s” huge success was a surprise to me and to Hollywood. It won’t have the mass appeal and will make only a fraction of the dough—but this film I get.
